Banana Streusel Muffins

Muffins are a great breakfast for relaxed weekend mornings, and these Banana Muffins with Streusel and Icing are a great way to start the day. This recipe uses up any overripe bananas you may have lying around, which is great for preventing food waste.

Bananas that are overripe, with their peels starting to blacken, release their sugar to produce a sweeter and stronger flavor in baked goods. The streusel is made of an easy combination of common ingredients and adds a delicious layer to the top of your muffins. Drizzle just a bit of icing on top for the perfect breakfast muffins.
